Updating Apache 2.0.55 to 2.2.0

I want to move our server to Apache 2.2.0 that was just released and is now
in the ports tree. I am concerned that

1) I have to uninstall Apache 2.0.55 to let the new one install properly
2) it might not build okay and our webserver will be dead while I fix it

What exactly is the recommended way to move from apache20 to apache22 in the
ports tree, with minimal fuss or downtime? Could I just install with
FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1 and so on, and then remove apache20 from the ports
database as a hack? Is that safe?
